Audiovisual departments and collections in public libraries : examples of the Zagreb City Libraries

U radu je obrađen povijesni pregled glazbenih zbirki koje su se kao preteče knjižničnih zbirki zvučne i audiovizualne građe počele osnivati još u 19. stoljeću. Uz zbirke glazbene građe u svijetu i Hrvatskoj, rad obuhvaća i kronologiju glazbenih zbirki knjižnica raznih institucija u Gradu Zagrebu. One su često bile zatvorenog tipa i specijalne namjene. Sadržavale su ili još sadrže bogat opus glazbene građe. Poseban naglasak u radu dan je razvoju glazbenih, audiovizualnih i multimedijalnih zbirki u hrvatskim narodnim knjižnicama s naglaskom na mrežu Knjižnica grada Zagreba. Rad govori o funkciji i ustrojstvu tih odjela, njihovoj različitosti, organizaciji rada, zaštiti autorskih i srodnih prava, digitalizaciji i reprodukciji građe. Dio rada posvećen je prostorima, opremi, djelatnicima i njihovu radu s korisnicima. U istraživačkom djelu rada obrađuje se šest Knjižnica KGZ-a koje imaju najveće audiovizualne i multimedijalne odjele kroz pet segmenata rada u periodu od pet godina. Te se Knjižnice ističu po najbogatijoj povijesti, veličini fonda, frekvenciji posudbe, broju članova i opsegu nabave glazbene i audiovizualne građe. U zaključku se problematiziraju neki od izazova kojima se suvremeni glazbeni i AV odjeli suočavaju.The work presents historical review of the first musical collections in the world and in the Croatia, which, as the foremost of libraries collections of audio visual materials, started to be founded in the 19th century.
